I'm guessing that the high speed straights are causing my radiator fans to freewheel to the point of bearing failure (any alternative failure ideas will be entertained as well). Has then been experienced by others, and if so, any remedies? This is a street/track car, so taking the fans out/in just for track time is not what I want to do (but would save weight). So one idea I have is to just insert a piece of material into the fan's grill that would block movement of the blade. The fans are never used except during longer stops at long traffic lights. The radiator intake ducting is sealed, so every bit of air entering the duct, is pushed through the radiator.
